Song Qingming × River Picture
Son of a Corrupt Official × Supervisory Censor
During the Yuanfeng period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the young censor Hetu was ordered to go south to Suzhou to investigate a major water transportation corruption case, but he fell into the quagmire of old and new party disputes. Faced with the complicated "Luoshu Society" in the officialdom and the mastermind behind it, King Yong, Hetu made a difficult choice between adhering to the law and facing reality.
In Suzhou, he met the key figure in the case-Song Qingming, the son of a corrupt official. From confrontation and imprisonment to being forced to join forces, the two gradually see the truth behind each other's masks amidst conspiracy and betrayal. Song Qingming is burdened with a blood feud and wanders between black and white, but is willing to risk everything for the "right path" in He Tu's heart; while He Tu is constantly questioning his bottom line on the road to seeking skin from a tiger.
The hundred-day period is coming to an end, and the fire of the boat ignites the final showdown. The night rain on Taihu Lake, the dangerous journey on Mount Tai, and the undercurrent in Bianjing... The two of them redeemed each other in a desperate situation, focusing on life and death, and revealed the truth of a conspiracy that shook the country. This is a profound game about purity and turbidity, crime and punishment, and saving others and saving oneself.
